All EPSRC Event 11th-12th February

An Important Opportunity

Manchester is one of 12 'Framework Universities' that have a special relationship with EPSRC. Framework status provides a structured and systematic basis for dialogue with the Council, helping to identify ways in which we can work together. An annual All EPSRC event provides one of the main opportunities for engagement. We have our first All EPSRC event on 11th-12th February, and it is important that we make the most of the opportunity. All members of staff who already hold EPSRC funding, or are interested in doing so, are strongly encouraged to attend. The event will also be of interest to research managers and administrators. If you wish to attend it is important that you register for the event.
